Get ready to GET REAL with Dr. Samantha Vandewal, ND as we dive deep into the evidence on all things PCOS. We asked Dr. Vandewal all of our burning hormone questions from what diets actually work for PCOS, whether supplements can truly be helpful (and which ones she uses with patients), whether high intensity exercise is beneficial or harmful for PCOS patients and how you can take control of your health and reverse your PCOS symptoms, naturally.

Dr. Vandewal is a naturopathic doctor with a special interest in PCOS, fertility, and preconception. After helping co-host, Victoria, reverse her PCOS symptoms - we knew we needed to have Dr. Vandewal on the pod to share her top tips for reversing PCOS symptoms and getting her patients back to optimal health. This is a great episode for anyone new to their PCOS journey or anyone with hormonal symptoms that match the PCOS picture (acne, hair loss, hair growth where we don’t want it, weight gain, and more).

In this episode, Dr. Vandewal helps us understand why PCOS is often misunderstood by doctors and busts some of the most common myths in the wellness space. Don't miss our rapid-fire myth-busting round—it's wild and informative (and slightly chaotic)!
